Friction Factor

Friction Factor is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid dynamics to quantify the resistance to flow in a conduit due to viscous effects, specifically defined as the ratio of the wall shear stress to the dynamic pressure of the fluid, distinguishing it from other flow resistance parameters by its direct dependence on the flow regime and surface roughness in internal flow systems.
